Friends. If you're interested in learning about whether you're eligible to apply for
a work permit or the EAD watch this video, a lot of changes are taking place these days
with even the basic things of immigration, such as the work permit application, lot of
changes are taking place these days that you guys really need to be attuned to before I
dive into it. Thank you so much for watching this video. I'm Latoya McBean Pompey. For
those of you who are new to me. Welcome, welcome to my channel. I invite you to subscribe and
watch other events and hit the notification bell. So that you'll be the first to get videos
each week.
Now, in this one, let's talk about the categories of individuals who are eligible for the EA
EAD. Not everyone is eligible for the EAD. And in fact, I've seen some people come to
us for consultations who have been deceived into thinking they are eligible for the EAD
and they apply. And they only, they get into deeper waters, really because they're not
even eligible for that immigration benefit. And now if you go on USC, I S his website,
the instructions are there for you to review, and I'm going to pull it up here so that you
could see which categories of individuals are eligible for the EAD. Now, the first categories
involve those who are asylum seekers and refugees, and those who are seeking asylee status in
the United States, it begins with the [inaudible] category for refugees. Then there's a five
category for silos. And then the C eight category is the big one.
That's for those, with a pendant asylum application. Now, things have changed significantly recently
for those who have a pendant asylum application, you now have to wait 365 days before you're
eligible to apply for work permit. Specifically, the government says you must wait 365 calendar
days from the date you properly filed with us CIS or the immigration court, your asylum
application. You must also have appeared for your asylum biometrics appointment. You must
also have appeared for an interview with a us CIS asylum officer or the immigration judge.
And you had appeared for your biometrics service appointment for your work permit application.
And there are some other special instructions here that are applicable for those with appendant
asylum application. And I invite you to read these pages page two and three very carefully
so that you understand pages two, three, and four, read those pages very carefully so that
you don't make any mistakes about this process.
Also, you should know that the application has changed with respect to how it's treated
individuals with appendant asylum application. I did a video very recently about the new
[inaudible] application and the questions that relate to those of you with pendant asylum
applications. I'm going to link to it right now, right here, so that you can go back,
watch that video and see those very important questions on that application because things
are getting tougher, particularly for those of you who entered the country without inspection,
and then later applied for asylum. Very important that you watch that earlier video guys, I
hope you found this video helpful again. Be sure to share it with other people, comment
below. Let me know your thoughts and I'll see you in the next one. Bye bye.
